If I have a callback called just after paragraph has been split into lines, would not be enough to count the number of hboxes in the vbox the paragraph itself is contained ? Cannot say it’s ideal (easier to simply read tex.prevgraf for sure), but might be possible, unless I missed something (totally possible).

In a couple of cases I see \prevgraf being larger than number of lines of previous paragraph, including lines for paragraph before than one as well. Could not create a MWE unfortunately to reproduce this case so far.

I’ll try to amend my dropcaps/lettrine logic then. What are the reasons behind this change in \prevgraf TeX primitive which AFAIK exists since TeX has been written ? I thought that one of the strong points in TeX was overall stability of its behaviour among versions. Here with this semantic change in \prevgraf in recent luatex, this stability is a bit broken IMO.

it's *not changed* in luatex .. context *itself* sets the prevgraf at the next page as indicator of the left-over lines

say that you have:

XXX ------------------
XXX ------------------
----------------------
----------------------

- a page break between the first and second line is a bug in your code
- a page break after the second line is harmless and as we're on a new page then there is nothing to be done i.e. prevgraf then is set to 2 (as we have two lines if we look back)

say that you have:

XXX ------------------
XXX

- if you get a page break here, again there is nothing to be done as you're on a next page
- if you need to pick up in the next pagagraph (on the same page) then
prevgraf is 1

so, what in your case does it mean that when your next paragraph is on the next page you look at prevgraf? there is no need to hangindent as your hanging stuff is on the previous page

also, in general prevgraf is kind of useless when you have lines higher than lineheight so if you use a callback, you also should calculate the real accumulated drop so far

but .. that one is then still on the same page; in fact, you should

check for realpage being changed then

prevgraf is still ok after a 7 line paragraph but ... when you cross a

page, and have say 4 lines moved to the next one, then a 7 line

hangafter would be wrong (you can check if a par is on the same page)

with callbacks after breaking in lines you still don't know ...
